I had a CBC that was normal. 7 days later, start Bactrim for Lyme. 5 days thereafter, CBC shows mild anemia (low: RBC, Hgb, Hematocrit), with normal iron/ferritin. Low Folate, normal MCV. IS THIS FOLATE DEFIC. ANEMIA OR BACTRIM: APLASTIC ANEMIA?
I am a 56 year-old female with a history >20 yrs of chronic non-iron deficiency anemia, hgb 10.2. No menses, 2 egds/colonoscopies in last 10 years normal, fe, tibc, ferritin, folic acid, folate wnl.
58+ F Hb 10.8, RBC "Predominantly macrocytic normochromic with macroovalocytes". Ferritin 100 ng/ml, B12 894 pg/ml, Folic Acid 12.3 ng/ml.Why Anemia ?
Recently had physical. Cmp, CBC, folate,vit d, b12 all normal range. Ferritin was high at 219 (range 15-150) is this of any concern? I wasnt given explanation and numbers bother me if I dont know what they mean. I feel great. No complaints.
After many similar symptoms of anemia, my labs showed low ferritin 8 but a normal CBC.My doc claims I should have no symptoms with low ferritin??
